Nice, france is usually a gateway to the French Riviera for tourists from around the world but this morning the area is on high alert after whats being called a terror attack along the citys famous promenade. We have confirmed that an american father and son from texas are among those who were killed. At least 84 people died when that white truck plowed into crowds of people who had been watching a bastille day fireworks display. The driver was killed after an exchange of gunfire with police. French media reports say the idea of a frenchtunisian man was found at the scene but still not clear if it belonged to the driver. Good analysis we got when we talked to steve gomez, former fbi special agent in charge and abc contributor. You have this one attacker and also the tactic that was used. Very different, right. Oh, absolutely. What you now saw is this type of truck has the ability to penetrate through certain barriers whether its the chain link fences, whether its the wood, so theyre going to have to evaluate how you protect against these types of attacks. The terrorists are watching every attack that is occurring and theyre learning from those attacks and then theyre looking to use those same types of techniques so Law Enforcement has to look at how these terrorists are using these types of whether its weaponry, whether its vehicles, they then have to deal with the security measures to ensure that that doesnt happen again because the terrorists are going to look to do that. What do you make of the weapons found inside the truck as well. The fact that these firearms and explosives were in the back, its very interesting, kind of makes me wonder whether there was some coconspirators that were going to be involved in the attack so once the truck stopped, then they were going to join in in the fight. Thats something theyll look at. Some interesting analysis there from stove gomez, also hearing some harrowing stories from all the witnesses. One of them from florida is now telling her story. Talking about kayla rapan visiting france with her fiance. Listen to her describe the terror. We just finished watching fireworks. There were thousands and thousands of people out here. And the fireworks had just ended. We started walking across the street towards the restaurant. The crowd moving in Different Directions and then i heard some gunshots but i thought it was fireworks. Complete chaos and people were screaming, kids were crying. Security guards were on their walkietalkies. We were so close. I heard screaming and everyone was running in every direction. I heard loud noises and people started screaming and shots being fired up in here and everyone started running in different parts. When we were running away, apart from all the screaming that we did hear shots fired which i seem to be the police. It was sheer terror. You can see and hear the terror from those clips that you saw right there. I mean that guy drove that truck for about a mile down the promenade there. Its unbelievable to think how long that went on before he was finally stopped and some witnesses said they didnt see the truck, they didnt see the gunfire. The lights werent on. But they saw all these people running and just by instinct obviously they ran, as well and they said we couldnt tell what was going on but we could tell something was very wrong. One of the things. You see fireworks and minor fireworks going off there. Some people thought maybe there were some individuals who were popping off some fireworks at the time. They didnt realize it was gunshots that they were hearing. You really hope for a false alarm in that kind of situation. Unfortunately not so in this case. And shifting gears now to a developing story here in this country, police if phoenix have leased a new sketch of a suspected serial killer wanted in connection can the deaths of seven people including a 12yearold girl. Police say the killings nearly all of them happened in a phoenix suburb and appear to be random.

It would have given him a 62 for the round and a record. Oh, well. What were building together. And could this happen again .

Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots. But eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Knowing eliquis had both. Turned around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless you doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis treats dvt pe blood clots. Plus had less major bleeding. Both made switching to eliquis right for me. Ask your doctor if its right for you. Words panera lives by. No artificial flavors, preservatives, sweeteners.
